The Special Meeting of the Galien Village Council was called to order by President P. Palmer at 6:00PM on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at the Galien Village Hall.
Call to Order was followed by the pledge of allegiance.
Attorney Sara Senica was in attendance and presented test results from Trace, third party, testing on Med Farm sewer lines showing they have been discharging industrial waste into our lagoon system.
Attorney Senica recommended sending a letter to Med Farm/Fello Cannabis asking them to voluntarily disconnect from the Village sewer system.
S. Schmitz moved, supported by T. Richter to ask Med Farm to voluntarily disconnect from the Village sewer system for the good of the Village, and contact the village attorney Senica by October 24, 2022 by 5:00PM.
The vote was 7 yeas, 0 nays. Motion carried.
Public Comments
A good citizen attended and said we should have gone faster and harder when dealing with Med Farm and that we should shut their sewer down right away. Asked if we had done more testing.
Donna Potter stated that when we first started talking about having marijuana in the Township they were supposed to haul their waste off so why are we here?
Ina Car asked “ What does it take to see they are not being good citizens? Have they made good on what they owe the village? How much money do they owe?
She was answered by the Council and the Attorney.
With no further business to conduct the meeting was adjourned by unanimous consent at 8:10PM.
Christine Palmer, Clerk
